The challenge

A manufacturing giant ran its supply chain on lagging indicators: inventory buffers set by gut feel, delivery promises made blind, and 200+ global locations reporting on spreadsheets that were stale before they were opened.

The solution

We wired the chain for real-time visibility — event streams from every location into a unified data platform — then put AI-driven predictive analytics on top: demand forecasting, inventory optimization and exception agents that flag disruptions before they cascade.

The results

Inventory costs fell 40% while delivery accuracy climbed to 99.5%. Planners now work from live data across all 200+ locations, and planning cycles that took weeks close in days.
